About Us:

West Wilts U3A was launched in Trowbridge in June 1989 with just a few members and now has about 400 members who participate in over 30 group activities. The groups meet in various locations depending on their numbers: in a member's home or community halls.       

  

There is a monthly meeting every third Wednesday held at 2.00pm in the Civic Hall, Trowbridge, with an invited speaker, to which all members are invited at no charge. These meetings and all group meetings are enjoyable events giving members the opportunity to socialize and talk over a cup of tea. The objective is a good blend of learning and leisure.

One monthly meeting is replaced by a coach trip. In 2008 this was to Hereford - to visit the cathedral and see the chained library.

The U3A provides Stimulation, Education and Recreation for mature people who no longer work but nevertheless don’t want to vegetate.

West Wilts U3A covers the 4 towns, Bradford on Avon, Melksham, Trowbridge and Westbury. There are also groups in Bath, Devizes, North Wilts and Warminster (see links page here).
